He was forced to leave England (because he was the equivalent of a MAGA back then) and then willingly left the Netherlands when they weren’t religious enough for him, either, looking for a place for his family to suppress the religious rights of others

The Spanish peace treaty was over. That’s why they left the Netherlands.
